What a garage door roller repair actually fixes

When a roller wheel flattens, cracks or the bearing inside seizes, the door doesn't roll smoothly through the track anymore — it catches, jerks or grinds with every foot of travel. That's a roller problem, not a spring or opener problem, and running the door on a bad roller long enough eventually bends the track or pulls a hinge loose.
